Collage

Hello. i happen to work for a university. You should see if there are any federally funded grants in the institution such as Project Excel. They generally have monies for grants. Seconldy you may want to consider applying for scholarships on fastweb.com. Lastly you should appeal to your fianncial aid office asking them for more moeny by telling them why you cant afford it.

We don't know your situation or what is going on with your financial aid, so the best we can do is give you general information that may or may not apply to your situation. The person that you should really talk to about this is your financial aid advisor. They're there to help you get funding for your education. Take advantage of that help! If you have already filled out your FAFSA form, the next step should be to look for scholarships. You will want to register with Fastweb ( http://www.fastweb.com ) and fill out your profiles there so you can begin to look for possible scholarships. They let you search for scholarships by major, by school, and by demographic information like race and whether or not you're a first generation college student.

First, you're going to a college. A collage is a bunch of pictures or artwork, which may be educational but does not provide the same satisfaction as going to a college. Financial aid can be tricky. Have you talked to your financial aid advisor about the problems you're having financially? When I was in college and found it was starting to be too expensive I went to discuss possible financial aid options and the advisors were all too happy to help. Most colleges don't want to lose attendance so they'll help you if they're able to. Also make sure you're filling out the FAFSA because you may get some government grants or options for government loans depending on your financial situation so definitely always check up on that. There might also be options for you to take out student loans through programs such as Sallie Mae which are well known for student loans. I'm not sure where you're going to college and I don't know what degree you're going for, but I noticed that you live in Kentucky. BCTC has a good plan called the BCTCblue + with UK where you can attend a certain number of credit hours at UK for BCTC prices (which are considerably less) so that'll cut down on your tuition. I'm sure calling them would provide more details than I can if you were actually interested in that, but it's just an example. Best of luck in your college endeavors!
